University Studies for Undecided Majors

University Studies is an essential element in the educational process that results in professional success, personal growth, and responsible citizenship. In this process, students have the opportunity to acquire knowledge, learn reasoning and communication skills, examine their goals, values, and potentialities, and develop an enduring commitment to learning through both formal and informal educational experiences.

The University Studies program at A&M-Commerce embodies the characteristics and purposes of the University. With both professional and liberal arts programs, A&M Commerce recognizes general education as a necessary component in the development of all students. The general education which takes place in the University Studies program is therefore not only compatible with specialization but is the context in which specialization occurs.
